COMPTON >> An aggressive ground and air attack by Los Angeles County firefighters Monday kept a 2-acre brush fire from reaching a mobile home park.

The fire broke out about 10:40 a.m. in the 18900 block of Laurel Park Road in Rancho Dominguez, near Compton, according to Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Rick Flores.

About 150 firefighters and two helicopters doused the grass and brush fire by 12:15 p.m., Flores said.

“(They) fought the fire aggressively, flanked it on both sides and kept it from spreading to the mobile home park up on top,” Flores said.

The cause of the blaze was under investigation, he said.

The fire broke out during red flag conditions, meaning low humidity, hot temperatures and gusty winds could allow a fire to spread quickly.

“Conditions are getting worse,” Flores said. “It’s getting a lot drier and temperatures are rising, so it’s a concern for fire danger.”
